 Being able to talk through my own experience moving back and getting settled in at this point, to offer advice or lessons, feels great and can hopefully have a true impact on people who are making the move back or strongly considering it.

  The Back2KC event is a fantastic forum for energetic local founders and capital partners who are engaged and invested in the success of our local community. If you want to learn more about what makes Kansas City great and build your local network, this is an event you can’t miss. 

 - Phil Reynolds, CEO at DevStride 

 As an expat invited to #Back2KC, I've witnessed firsthand how this community thrives on connection and innovation. I was inspired by the impressive cooperation and coordination happening across the Kansas City region in public, private, and plural sectors.

The spirit of 'Kansas City nice' and the ethos of 'give first' are alive here, bringing together diverse talents and fostering meaningful partnerships.

Excited for what lies ahead!
